No, **HCl (hydrochloric acid)** is not a **mineral**; it is a **mineral acid** (also called an **inorganic acid**). Mineral acids are derived from inorganic compounds and include acids like **HCl, H?SO? (sulfuric acid), and HNO? (nitric acid)**. So yes, **HCl is a mineral acid** because it is derived from hydrogen chloride (a mineral compound) and is not organic.
